Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) (also known as chickenpox, zoster, human herpes type three varicella) is responsible for chickenpox and shingles in humans.
An individual who is immune to the VZV may catch the virus; however, the body will battle and kill the virus before any notable effects occur.
There is a vaccine that provides limited immunity (~10 years) to the virus (for those not already immune); however, the vaccine will not protect against shingles (a stronger vaccine in more limited supply is available for shingles).

Who should be considered immune to VZV?
Individuals considered immune to varicella-zoster virus (VZV) include those who have had a previous chickenpox infection, as they typically develop lifelong immunity. Additionally, individuals who have received the varicella vaccine are also considered immune, as the vaccine induces an immune response that provides protection against chickenpox and shingles. However, immunity can vary, and in some cases, breakthrough infections may occur, albeit usually with milder symptoms.
Does varicella zoster virus cause chickenpox?
Yes, chickenpox is caused by varicella zoster virus (VZV). VZV is a virus in the herpes family.
What is a vzv valve?

What vzv is target the Igm?
The varicella-zoster virus (VZV), which causes chickenpox and shingles, is primarily targeted by IgM antibodies during the initial immune response to an acute infection. IgM antibodies are produced shortly after the onset of infection and indicate recent exposure to the virus. Their presence can be used to help diagnose active varicella or shingles. However, IgG antibodies are typically measured to indicate past infection or immunity.
Does immune mean fight against?
No, immune doesn't mean to fight against. Immune means something is unaffected.
When was vzv discovered?
Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) was discovered in 1958 by Thomas H. Weller and Franklin P. Neva. They successfully isolated the virus from vesicles on the skin of patients with chickenpox.
What is the vector of the disease shingles?
Humans are the only known host of VZV.

What does immuno mean?
"Immuno" is a prefix derived from the Latin word for "immune." It is commonly used in scientific contexts to refer to the immune system or immune response.
What does it mean to be immunocompromised?
A state in which the immune system is suppressed or not functioning properly.
What does nonimmunogenic mean?
Since immunogenic means 'Capable of inducing an immune response; antigenic.' I would suggest that nonimmunogenic would mean that an immune response would not be induced.
